My daughter and her side-kicks, we the parents, got some press love! We attended an International Food Fair at my alma mater last Saturday, Rockford College where I got my B.S. in Biology. It's an annual event presented by students of the Multicultural Club and as alumni, I was very proud to witness that the event was a success!

A shutterbug from the Rockford Register Star was there snapping away and took a liking to my little Peanut, so he asked to take some pics. We didn't find the pictures in the actual newspaper but hello there! it was online. Getting a picture into a newspaper is nothing to be rolling eyes at - you know you'll be super excited if that happened to you, unless it's a mug shot, of course. Check out the article and us, beautiful people, here! Ha!

Can you believe my daughter learned to wave today? Just totally spontaneously! I left her for a little bit to get something from the basement, looked back at her and she was staring at me making sure I don't leave her and come back. So I just casually said Hi! and waved at her and she gave me such a wide smile with her little 8 teeth and waved back, so naturally as if she always knew how. When your little ones reach such milestones, it is that much rewarding!
